I have used "CAROLS ZOO" bear- rabbit -dog. by simplicity, I think. 2 pattern pieces. Each is 1/2 of front. 1/2 of back. Cut 2 each & sew center seam, same with the back. Sew front to back together & stuff thru center back. Very easy. I've made them out of fake fur as well as cotton and like a crazy quilt pattern. So fun to make. Good luck.
Sometimes if you go into the pattern websites, they have " out of print" patterns. They are sold by current prices, how ever.
